  1. weeping willow

    A weeping willow is a type of deciduous tree known for its distinctive appearance. Its long, slender branches droop down, giving it a 'weeping' look—hence the name. It has narrow, pointed leaves that are usually light green in color. Scientifically known as Salix babylonica, the weeping willow is native to dry areas of northern China but has been widely planted in other parts of the world due to its attractive shape. It often grows near bodies of water and has aggressive, water-seeking roots.

  1. Weeping Willow

    "Weeping Willow" is the tenth episode of the sixth season of Law & Order: Criminal Intent. It originally aired on NBC in the United States on November 8, 2006. In the episode, a teenage vlogger nicknamed WeepingWillow17, played by guest star Michelle Trachtenberg, is apparently kidnapped during the filming of one of her Internet videos. Detectives Mike Logan and Megan Wheeler investigate the so-called "cyber-kidnapping", which they and the public speculate may be an elaborate Internet hoax. The episode and character was written by René Balcer, Stephanie Sengupta and Warren Leight, and directed by Tom DiCillo. The story and the WeepingWillow17 character were inspired by the lonelygirl15 video blogs on YouTube, which were originally believed the works of a real-life 15-year-old blogger, but were eventually discovered to be a professionally filmed hoax. The episode received generally positive reviews and, according to Nielsen ratings, was seen by 9.8 million households the week it aired, the most viewership for a Law & Order: Criminal Intent episode in six weeks.
